SMI Silent Partner Brake Control Questions - Curt Sprenger - 08-26-2006 07:34

Before I screw something up I have some questions. I'm installing the
SMI Silent Partner brake control in the Bronco/Bird. All the Bronco
stuff is installed.

To check out the towed install, the instructions say the gauge should
read about 12" vacuum, no more than 15". Is there a gauge in the control
box? Do I need to install a gauge in the vacuum line?

The instruction also say to adjust the vacuum in 1/4 turn
increments...location of adjustment screw?

Those who have installed one of these units themselves, is there a gauge
inside of the box along with the adjustment screw? Remove the bottom
plate or remove the cover?

Hi Curt,

On mine, the gauge is on the box (with the pump in it) that goes in the car
adjustment is
on box also. Guage shows on top of box, adjustment on end. I put mine under the
front
seat

Mine is the Silent partner model and 3-4 years old.

Help?
